Catholic Theology and Philosophy

Suggested Books

Catechism of the Catholic Church: This book will tell you anything and everything that the Catholic Church believes (kind of like a systematic theology book, but less dated). You can also access the catechism for free online Here. I’ll warn you… it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing site.

Rome Sweet Home (Scott Hahn): This book is about a Protestant pastor/theologian and his wife’s journey to Catholicism. Both had completed their advanced theology degrees from Gordon-Conwell before starting this process.

The Priest is Not His Own (Ven. Abp. Fulton Sheen): Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen writes so beautifully about the priesthood. Even if you’re not a priest or discerning the priesthood, reading this book will help you to better understand the role of the priest, and teach you how to support your priest.

Can You Drink the Cup?(Henri J. M. Nouwen): This is a beautiful book about consuming the cup. It was intended for priests, but all Christians can apply the concepts in this book to their spiritual lives.
